NEWARK, Del. — Police in Delaware say a Newark man who is a pastor at a Philadelphia church has been charged with sexually abusing a boy for years.

New Castle County Police say 40-year-old Harry Benson, the senior pastor of Eastern Pennsylvania United Methodist Church, was arrested Tuesday. He has been charged with rape and continuous sexual abuse of a child.

The arrest came after the teen told his high school resource officer Tuesday about the sexual abuse.

New Castle County Police say detectives investigating Benson's relationship with the student learned that Benson had been abusing the boy for several years.

Benson is being held in Howard Young Prison after failing to post bond.
